Chapter 14 [A Joint Journey to the Purple Heaven, Secrets of Chaos]
"Buzz—"
"Buzz—"
"Buzz—"
As Su Han finished speaking, a series of clear and melodious divine sounds suddenly rose up, with celestial bells ringing in unison, auspicious omens running about, and golden lotuses falling one after another, reflecting a great path.
On this floating avenue, an old man in purple robes, devoid of joy or sorrow, with an air of otherworldly grace, walked towards Su Han through the void.
With each step he took, the entire chaos would tremble; he was truly awe-inspiring.
But as he landed beside Su Han, he changed to a kind and benevolent expression and smiled, saying, "Fellow Daoist Hongmeng, you've arrived."
Su Han nodded and smiled faintly: "Fellow Daoist Hongjun, it's been ten thousand years, and you seem to be getting more and more deeply involved."
"So now we can't even leave Zixiao Palace in our true form?"
That's right!
The one who invited Su Han was none other than the Primordial Dao Ancestor—Hongjun!
"This is not the place to talk."
Hongjun remained as kind and benevolent as ever. With a wave of his hand, golden light burst forth, and the next moment, they appeared in the Zixiao Palace.
The Purple Cloud Palace is magnificent and resplendent, with abundant Daoist energy flowing through it. Streams of spiritual energy rush like rivers, making it an unparalleled sacred place for cultivation.
At this moment, Su Han could clearly see that on the altar of the Purple Cloud Palace, there was an old man who was exactly the same as before. He was dressed in purple robes, and his body was surrounded by immortal paths that seemed to be tangible, suppressing the universe and piercing through the void.
Unlike the old man before, on his body, one could vaguely see chains formed by the order of heaven and earth, completely binding him within the Zixiao Palace, preventing him from taking another step out!
Seeing this, Su Han smiled faintly and shook his head: "Why bother, fellow Daoist?"
"Even if you achieve Dao Integration, you will still be unable to step out of this Zixiao Palace, even if you cultivate to the Supreme Dao Realm. Wouldn't you still be like a puppet, controlled by the Heavenly Dao?"
"After all these years, can't you understand?"
As he spoke, Su Han arrived at another part of the altar and sat opposite Hongjun. Between them was a chess game from ten thousand years ago.
A game of chess with heaven and earth as the pieces.
As soon as he finished speaking, he picked up a chess piece and placed it down.
Upon seeing this, Hongjun's ever-present face finally broke into a smile once more: "Wonderful person."
"Fellow Daoist, you are truly a remarkable person!"
After picking up another chess piece, he continued, "I have cultivated for countless eons, traversing countless eons, pursuing not only the supreme Dao realm, but also to ensure the better future of this primordial world."
"My shackles are indeed the way of Heaven, but aren't you also bound by family, fellow Daoist?"
"If you, my fellow Daoist, cannot let go of this equality, how can I?"
Seeing this skillful move, Su Han also became interested, and the two began to play a formal game of chess.
"I had no intention of interfering in the great calamities of the primordial era; I only wanted to live my simple life with my family."
"Therefore, even if you tacitly allow the demon race to devour my human race, I will not interfere."
"But this time is different; the Chaos God is about to return."
"In this game, we are no longer the players, but the pieces."
He always had a smile on his face, and remained as calm as ever.
Even if the person sitting opposite him right now is the number one person in the primordial world, he will not show the slightest fear.
Hongjun appreciated this quality in him, and after returning the favor, he laughed and said, "Hehe, so you've finally decided to join the game, fellow Daoist?"
"I've been waiting for your decision."
"Since you are willing to use yourself as a pawn, then I have nothing to hide."
"What exactly is that Chaos Sea? I cannot fathom it either."
"But you can take a look at this."
That's all.
With a wave of his hand, Hongjun summoned a turbulent river of time that appeared in Zixiao Palace, along with the Heavenly Dao!
The river of time flows ceaselessly, and scenes flash by.
It resulted in a mutually destructive conflict between the Lich and Demon races!
It was Houtu who, out of compassion for all living beings, established the Six Realms and transformed the cycle of reincarnation!
It was the combined efforts of the Chan and Jie sects!
It was Haotian who presided over the Heavenly Court and conferred titles upon all the gods!
It was Sun Wukong's journey to the West that led him to Buddhahood!
Wutian rules over the thirty-three heavens and the earth!
yes.!!!!
It is the fall of a sage that caused the shattering and re-condensation of the Immortal Realm!
The Chaos God has returned!
It was Hongjun who supported the heavens for 129.6 billion years!!!
Over the course of time, even a sage like Hongjun, a Heavenly Dao Realm expert, was only able to glimpse the basics with the power of the Heavenly Dao.
Even though Su Han had already become a saint and attained the status of a Great Dao Saint, he still could not condense the River of Time.
He was already aware of the development of this ancient world.
But he still didn't expect that the future would lead to the end of the Dharma era and the fall of saints, all because the Chaos Demon God had returned!
Hongjun has always been criticized as the biggest villain in the prehistoric world and the most cunning person.
No one in later generations has ever seen it.
But Su Han truly saw it from the river of time.
If it weren't for Hongjun holding up the heavens alone, there would probably be no later generations. Everything would have ended the day the Chaos Demon God descended into the world!
so?
The world is not simply black and white.
Who is right and who is wrong is just a matter of a single thought.
However, the immeasurable calamity will eventually descend, and apart from the Dao Ancestor who supported the heavens and protected the only human race, the other saints, and even all the primordial beings, could not escape it.
Upon seeing this, Su Hanqian frowned slightly.
He didn't care who gained power in the primordial world or who became the overlord of heaven and earth.
But his child!
His wife!
They truly lived in the primordial wilderness.
In order to prevent the primordial world from entering the immeasurable calamity, Su Han had no choice but to use himself as a pawn!
At this moment, Hongjun also shook his head and sighed, "Alas—"
"As you have seen, this is why I must unite with the Dao."
"It's all about timing, fate, and destiny."
"The development of the primordial world was predetermined from the time the great god Pangu created heaven and earth; it was destined to be so."
"But everything was originally going according to the plan."
"but!"
"From the day you attained enlightenment, the secrets of heaven have been thrown into chaos, destiny has been disrupted, and the future has been thrown into disarray!"
"I saw a different outcome!"
As he spoke, Hongjun waved his hand again, and another scene appeared from the river of time!
That is?
The primordial era?!
In the primordial world depicted in the image, heaven and earth were shattered, and order was in chaos.
Between heaven and earth, countless corpses flew about, including saints and even chaotic demons!
The entire primordial world was stained crimson with the blood of the sage.
The death knell tolls endlessly in the face of fate.
Blood rained down!
Endless cries of sorrow echoed throughout the heavens and earth!
and many more!
It seems as if a great god is standing in this world!
His body was muscular and bulging, perfectly embodying the aesthetics of strength, with his long black hair flowing down his back and fluttering in the wind.
He stood tall and upright, with the Jade Disc of Creation above his head, the Green Lotus of Chaos beneath his feet, and the Divine Axe that opened the heavens in his hand!
That is?
The Great God Pangu?!
How is that possible?!
The great god Pangu has actually been resurrected in the primordial future!!!
and many more?
What is he holding in his hand?
That's a head!
A head, dripping with blood, devoid of any remaining Daoist aura!
